®ta fort’F Corner. Counting baby’s Toes. Dear little bnre feet, Dimpled end white, In your long night-gown Wrapped for the night. Come let me cout all Your queer little toes, Fink as the heart Os a ehell or a rose! One is a baby That sits in the sun; Two is a baby And throe is a nun; Four is a lily With innocent breast; And five is a bridie Asleep on her nest. AN EMBLEM. A lonely cloud, as eve began, Its quiet rest didtake, As grace! ul as a sleeeping swan Upon a moonlit lake; One star, companion of the West, yihome ’mid that cloudy sphere, Like hope, within a human breast. When sorrow darkens near. And oh, methought for all our woes A lesson here is given; Would man might thus his griefs repose Upon the breast of heaven— Look upward to 'he realm afar, When worldly cares have birth, And rest his hopes on God's own star— And take his heart from earth. PiStfllßlltOUS. I Avoid people who are always talking and still never say anything. The Great Western Railway of England cost nearly 8350,00tf a mile. . " Baltimore has a population of 352,135, of whom 48,373 are colored. An Arizona farmer wants to sell i a small farm of .fifteen hundred . thousand acres.

Franklin, Jes-; ferson and Washington Irving, j , Men so perfect in body, so lofty ' < and splendid in intellect, and so I grand in character, could not have i been smokers. 1i “Yon bachelors ought to be i taxed,” said a lady to a resolute 1 evader of the matrimonial noose i “I agree with yon, madam,” was 1 the reply; “bachelorism is a great luxury.S ■ < 4 Smallpox Remedy.

When Jen , ner discovered cow pox in England, the world of science hurled an avalanche of fame upon his head, but when the most scienti sic school of medicine in the wojld —that of Paris—published this recipe as a panacea for smallpox, it pasted unheeded. It is sa un failing as fate, and conquers in every instance. It is harmless ■when taken by a well person. It will also cure scarlet fever. Here' is the recipe as I hare used it. and cured my children inf scarlet fever ; here it is as I have used it to cure the smallpox; when learned physicians said the patient must die. it cured: Sulpliate of zinc, one grain: foxglove (digitalis), one grain; half a teaspoonful of auger; mix wjth two table spoonful* x>f water.

Everybody knows good council except he that hath most need of The shortness of life is often owing to the irregularity of the liver. It has been ascertained that some ladies use paint as fiddlers use rosin—to aid them in drawing a beau. - It is not pleasant when you call upon an acquaintance and expect a good dinner, and be offered nothing but a cold shoulder. In our battle with temptation let us especially beware of the first assaults. < Philosophers telFus that nature never errs. They certainly can not mean human nature. If a young woman’s disposition is gunpowder, the sparks should be kept away from her. African Proverbs. Peace is the father of friendship. All men are related to one another.
